I'm trying to upload a background image to my WordPress site, using the Atahualpa theme. Following the instructions, I tried uploading it to /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/ but received the message that it had an error uploading.
Repeated, same error.
My question is, how do I upload it to this directory? The current way doesn't seem to allow me to do so, and until I've done that, I can't really set my background. Thanks in advance.

Did you try to upload your background image using FTP?
Using FTP program Fetch on my Mac I have no problems in uploading any image to this directory. For Windows there will be similar FTP programs.
Maybe you should check the file permission mode CHMOD of this directory; it should be 755
For more details on this see

In connection with your question I have following question: I have no idea how I should see ANY background. What I have in mind is a background of a full picture covering the whole screen or at least the content part of a screen.
If you or anyone else can show me an example I would be very grateful!
